Neve did an interview to Blackbook Magazine, talking about her life in London, upcoming projects (beside Scream she will be doing a new movie, start shooting in December!), Scream, being mistaken with Jennifer Love Hewitt, and adopting a child from Africa.
The interview was added to our press archive.
Work-wise, what’s next for you before shooting Scream in the Spring?
Well, I’m always trying to find a great new scam to avoid the dark, damp British winters if I can! So, I’ve just signed up to do a movie in Sydney, Australia starting in December.What’s the movie about?
It’s tells the story of a very brave female composer from the 40s. I have been lent a very modern sounding piano to help me get into the role—well, it actually doesn’t make any sound at all, it’s to learn on.
A distinct buzz hung over the lawns of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club as the first Grand Prix Ball got underway.
All eyes were on the red carpet as local media waited to see which of the advertised celebrities would put in an appearance. But while a few held up their end of the bargain and walked the red carpet to the outdoor venue, a number originally confirmed did not.
A distinct lack of conversation on the red carpet also became apparent with the equivalent of a drive-by shooting from Kimberly Stewart, Marisa Tomei and surprise guests Janet Jackson and Jeremy Irons who barely acknowledged the media.
However, Neve Campbell didn’t disappoint and made up for the lack of chat from stars arriving before her. Beautiful in a locally-designed Ayesha Depala black number, Campbell joked with reporters about her need for speed.
“I think I have a heavy foot,” she said with a genuine laugh when asked whether she drives fast or slow and with in the limits of the law.
“I caught a bit of the Porsche race, which was great, and I can’t wait to see the F1 cars.”

Actress Neve Campbell loves cool dips on Hampstead Heath and walking her shih-tzu dogs
I love spending the weekend in London. The energy of the city changes when people have time off. Last year I married John [Light, the actor] and I’m enjoying the culture here. It’s something I missed when I was living in Los Angeles. Now we live in Islington and enjoy getting involved in each other’s interests.
One of my pet interests is my shih-tzu dogs. I have three and John loves them, too. They crave attention and can be jealous. As they are banned from the bedroom, there is not much chance of a lie-in on Saturdays. But it’s fun walking them, especially when people stop to admire them and say how sweet they are. Read more
I found a great article published in the UK newspaper Sunday Mail, and wrote by Steve Clark. In this article, Neve talks about his fear in having kids, because the crazyness of the world we live.
“I’m really not sure about having kids. Maybe I’ll shift my view in a couple of years.
“People say things like, ‘You could have the child who makes a big difference to the planet, but we’re not talking about changes happening to the planet in 50 years. It’s more likely to be 20 years and we’re going to be in a mess. Part of me thinks it is not necessarily fair to bring kids into a world like that. It seems selfish to and it is something I have struggled with for the past few years.”
She also talks about his husband Jon Light, their marriage, how is living in different continents because their work, and, of course, about Burn Up.
It’s a great article, totally recomended. To read it, go to Sunday Mail
Thanks to Will, from Last Broadcast, for the heads up! The site has a new interview with Neve, talking about Burn Up.
Burn Up is a nail-biting two-part thriller for BBC Two, starring Neve Campbell, Rupert Penry-Jones, Bradley Whitford and Marc Warren. Neve Campbell plays Holly Dernay.
Who do you play in Burn Up and what attracted you to the project?
I play Holly Dernay; she’s an environmentalist working for the renewables division in an oil company. The script is incredibly well written, which is unusual nowadays. The characters are very strong and the writer is very passionate about this issue and the environment – as am I. Read more
Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1973, Neve Campbell trained as a ballerina before turning to acting and making her name in the teen TV show Party of Five, and the Scream trilogy of horror films. She and the English actor John Light, her second husband, now live in London since marrying in Malibu last year
Goodbye kiss of the temptress
Some actresses will forever be remembered for one scene. Just ask Neve Campbell. The 34-year-old was seared in the imagination of a generation of schoolboys after sharing a swimming-pool kiss with the equally voluptuous Denise Richards in the 1998 film Wild Things.
Flush with the film’s success as well as her starring role in the Scream horror film trilogy, Campbell celebrated by treating herself to a Porsche in which to roar around the party circuit of Los Angeles. But today, sitting in the shivering cold of Calgary, in her native Canada, she seems a world away from the sports-car-driving temptress of the 1990s. For a start, she has married John Light, the English actor, and moved away from LA to settle in London. Read more
